So you don't have today's homework. What Should've Been Done:You should've done your best to do your homework when you had your breaks, because at least having some done is better than none, or have asked your parents to skip something so you could've done it. Outcome:If you're like most people you'd be a victim and blame the events for not having your homework, and not mention the possible times you had to do your homework, or cram to do it last minute.
